Yes, the same Libya that the US, along with its NATO allies, turned into a failed state just a few short years ago.

An arms industry executive, speaking to Reuters, even openly admits that the rise of ISIS has been great for business:

“Everyone in the region is talking about building up supplies for five to ten years. This is going to be a long fight.”

“It’s a huge growth area for us.”

We might, perhaps, understand this as a legitimate phenomenon, if it was not for the fact that it was the US who created and supported the terrorist group, initially under the guise of ‘moderate rebels‘, throughout Syria.

This is just more proof that the military industrial complex is the only winner to emerge from increased global conflict.

How might foreign policy decisions be different if they were not influenced by the arms industry?
